i resent Biblical epics (even Cecil B. De Mille's) but I have a soft spot for King David. I'm surprised to see no Blacks in the cast.
ReplyDeleteThere might still be some, I am more surprised with the choice for David, I mean he looks so random, like he has no screen charisma whatsoever, a very bland and boring choice, methinks, but we shall see.
DeleteI am afraid that this not something we usually watch..Luckily, UEFA EURO 2024 starts tomorrow :-)
ReplyDeleteOy, you will be watching that? Will there be snacks? LOL Hope your team wins, I know ours will not, if they are even playing, I am not in the loop...
DeleteShould be interesting. It always kind of blows my mind that filmmakers have a built-in audience when using bible stories. Messing with the source material should be done very carefully.
ReplyDeleteHope it will look good when done.
DeleteI shy away from anything biblical, so this one won't be for me.
ReplyDeleteThis one is more historical adventure than Bible, there was that series Of Kings and Prophets half a decade ago on ABC also on David and it was fun to watch, but David was super hot in it, Olly Rix is handsome, this one is not.
DeleteI might give it a try then if the reviews come back positive.
DeleteWe shall see next year I imagine.
